CNEPHASIAT Curtis. 



Cnephasia? maculidorsana n. s. — Fore wings shining, ashen gray, markpii 

 with lirown. Near the base of the wing, on tlie fold, is a patch hhiekish-l)rowii 

 above the fold, and russet-brown beneatii it. The central fascia, from the mid- 

 dle of the costa is russet-brown, margined interiorly witli dark brown. Near 

 the costal origin of the central fascia, arises a verv obli(iue. russet-colored line, 

 wliich runs into a russet-colored subterminal line, containing a series of dark 

 brown dots: neither of these lines are very distinctly marked, but this may be 

 owing to the imperfect condition of the specimen under description. Hind 

 wings fuscous.
